NBA “Gun Violence” Speech at ESPYs

NBA B-ballers Carmelo Anthony, Chris Paul, Dwyane Wade and LeBron James opened ESPN’s ESPY’s awards by standing like a defensive line in front of a soccer free kick, emoting a speech on “gun violence.” The mainstream media was all over it, presenting edited versions with near-religious reverence. The video above is the only full version I can find.

While there was a fleeting mention of inner city firearms-related violence, the speech focused on “black lives matter” racial agitation. “The racial profiling has to stop. The shoot-to-kill-mentality has to stop. Not seeing the value of black and brown bodies has to stop.”

Here’s another one: the lack of self regard and victim mentality have to stop. Just sayin’.

Yeah you poor guy, you can only have as many guns as you want, as much ammo as you want, access to fully automatic weapons (after paying a fee) etc etc etc. That’s just as bad as being killed. No victim mentality here, just us chickens.

Ahhh but you leave out the most important thing – have you actually PRICED fully automatic weapons?
Some of the FULLY AUTO AR15’s I’ve seen RECENT are running $30,000+ and I have seen them SELL at $90,000+

Now maybe you have a ton of money lying around and you can just go buy them without a second thought but I am sure that by and large, MOST people don’t have that for a single rifle.

Must be nice living in that ivory tower with SO MUCH disposable income.

Sorry life isn’t handed to you on a silver platter. Guess you’ll just have to work for it. Oh wait, you could convert your own ar15 to fully automatic with a small fee. Wonder what else you’re too ignorant to realize.

And how are you not a whining weasel? Who gives a FF what you think, you come here to denigrate the Second Amend,ent, YOU try and make s YOUR victim, because you are too much of a coward to take responsibly for the safety of your own family O R YOUR FREEDOM.

Those thugs killed resisting arrest WERE NOT VICTIMS.

And you and your stumble bum “president” and his lackeys in the DNC and the MSM WANT TO MAKE US VICTIMS.

“Sorry life isn’t handed to you on a silver platter. Guess you’ll just have to work for it.”
I made your point moot and pointed out its BS. OOPS! Sorry you’re too self centered to realize that.

“Oh wait, you could convert your own ar15 to fully automatic with a small fee. Wonder what else you’re too ignorant to realize.”
Not as much as YOU obviously or you would realize just how stupid that l last bit is.

Keep posting and pointing out your own ignorance. PLEASE. I am finding it highly entertaining that you are showing ALL OF US just how truly ignorant YOU are. You’re doing the work for us.

I can’t wait for your NEXT *gem* of “wisdom”

Extra credit if you come back and actually correct what was wrong with your ignorant remark and actually retract it with REAL **TRUE** INFO.

I won’t hold my breath on you correcting it though – FEELINGS! Its all about FEELINGS – not fact. Right?
And you’ve shown us just how light you are on FACTS

Or are you suggesting that someone commit a felony? Surely you are not doing that right?
Not after claiming about all the legal GAINS made. You surely wouldn’t be silly enough to suggest someone break the law….
Again – fact check yourself…

It is legal to produce a full auto firearm with the proper Licensure as a firearms manufacturer you can make a fully automatic firearm. I believe it’s $500 a year but don’t quote me on that. I thought you all were experts on firearms laws. Also, not sure if you know what moot means, but might want to look it up. The fact that guns cost money is unfortunate, perhaps you could convince the gun manufacturers to become nonprofits, that might help. The fact of the matter is I said you have access to fully automatic weapons after paying a small fee (you can rent them by the hour at a gun shop near me even ignoring the $200 tax to purchase one). It’s not my fault you’re too poor to exercise your rights. There are lost of people who are too poor to buy a Raven Arms MP .25. What do you want the government to do, start giving (even more) handouts? Get a job hippy.

Guys, we need to all stop feeding these dbag trolls. He literally just said “It’s not my fault you’re too poor to exercise your rights.”

You can *NOT* argue with elitist scum like this. They believe they are above everyone else and therefore can not fathom any other viewpoint that would require them to ‘come down to our level’. This person very succinctly stated that rights are *NOT* rights, but priveleges to be bought. Save your efforts for those on the fence or those who are misinformed. Scum like this will never be satisfied, even after they roll everyone they disagree with away in boxcars.

For the man keeping the black man down they seem to have done well for themselves.

I like how they keep bringing up Michael Brown despite all the evidence pointing to a justified shoot. BLM and its followers reach their conclusion based on emotion then try to look for evidence to support their feelings

Many years ago court jesters, actors, bards, and gladiators did not hold such positions as these.

You are certainly entitled to your opinions, but your ability to throw a ball into a hoop, lends no credence to your opinion. The validity of your opinion, is not different from mine, nor the homeless man on the street.

A few years back Melo did a video about snitches get stitches. Melo is was born in Red Hook Brooklyn and grew up in Baltimore, Wade is from Chiraq and LBJ is from Akron. Maybe these guys should do sit ins in their old hoods and invest into the communities they grew up in. Between them they have hundreds of millions, spend some of it. Put your body and money where your mouth is. They are full of shti.

Most of the blacks they cited as examples were resisting arrest or otherwise attacking the police officers. I guess those basketball players do not go beyond the sports pages…. Policies should be based on the facts and statistics, not opinions.
